Diamonds are a kind of common jewelry that we usually wear. Many people actually regard it as a diamond, but since it is called a diamond, there must be a difference. So diamonds are diamonds?

Is the rhinestone a diamond?

Diamonds are not diamonds.

Rhinestones, also known as crystal diamonds, are actually cut from artificial crystal glass. They are decorations. They look like crystals of diamonds. Rhinestones will never have the brilliance of diamonds, which is also the biggest difference.

The difference between rhinestones and diamonds

The difference between a rhinestone and a diamond mainly depends on its luster. In natural light, the difference between diamond and diamond is obvious. The fire color of diamond is incomparable to that of artificial diamond imitation. In addition, some rhinestones need to be measured by professional instruments to distinguish them. I suggest that you don't buy things that you are really not sure about, or buy them under the protection of certificates issued by professional and authoritative testing institutions.

How to distinguish between diamond and real diamond

1. The luster of a diamond is a secret that can reveal its true and false identity. The polished real diamond has a strong color, and the brilliance of those imitations with high refractive index is stiff and dim. Put the diamond in a white glass and fill it with water. If the light gets dim, it's a fake diamond. Secondly, it depends on whether the edges and corners of the diamond are very sharp. Only the edges and corners of imitations will be worn because the hardness is not high enough, and their edges and corners are blunt at best. At this time, you must rely on a magnifying glass to observe carefully.

2. Drop a drop of water on the diamond table. If it bulges for a long time, it's true, and if it disappears soon, it's false. Because diamonds are lipophilic and hydrophobic.

3. Breathing is breathing on the diamond. If the water vapor on the diamond disappears immediately, it will prove to be a real diamond; If water vapor stays on a diamond for a few seconds and then disappears, it is a diamond.
